I've seen Gummo a total of 3 times. It's essentially about a bunch of "white
trash" kids who run around killing cats for money. It doesn't really have a
point, like most decent films, but isn't annoying enought that you'd turn
away from it - in fact, it's kind of entrancing. As far as a soundtrack
goes, I don't recall anything specatacular except a crazy cover of (I don't
know the title) "Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer, goin' faster than a
rollercoaster..." possibly a Buddy Holly song, I don't know.
Anyway, see the film!
